Chapter 8 Rain Niang
"Master," Bai Meng blocked Master Keats' door early in the morning. She knocked on the wooden door, "Master Keats, are you here?"
The door was knocked lightly and opened, and Bai Meng walked in. There was no one in the room. She smelled an indescribable fragrance, unlike the sandalwood fragrance in the temple, and a very elegant smell, just like some objects that evoke people's memories of the past, ancient but familiar.
"Are you here?" A voice came from behind. Bai Meng hurriedly turned around and saw Master Keats standing behind him, silently. Bai Meng was a little startled, "I just came here. I think I want to continue to look at the Buddha bowl. I want to see what happened to Buyu and Xiuyuan later."
Master Keats quietly walked past her and picked up the Buddha bowl from the table. There was also a white fat jade-necked bottle on the table. Master Keats poured water into the Buddha bowl from the bottle, and then took it to Bai Meng.
"You believe that you are the nine-tailed fox demon?"
If simply seeing Buyu's face almost the same as himself can make her a trick, perhaps just an old monk, then after seeing Buyu's persistent eyes facing Xiuyuan, Bai Meng no longer doubted that he was the reincarnation of the nine-tailed fox demon.
Bai Meng nodded, "So I want to see again."
Monk Keats lowered his head and said something a few times, and gently tapped the Buddha bowl, "Before I finished reading the story, let me go and see it."
Bai Meng opened her eyes wide and watched the quiet water in the Buddha bowl in front of her slowly rippled. Bai Meng seemed to be sucked in at once. This time she saw the past in an immersive way.
Buyu lay on the stone bed, and the breeze came in from outside the cave. Buyu turned his head outside. Xiaozhi was sleeping aside and was already feeling refreshed. Buyu couldn't sleep, so he walked down. When he got outside the cave, he realized that today and night were like daytime. The huge moon was in the sky, as bright as white teeth. Buyu remembered the scene of Mochou and Xiuyuan leaving. Mochou grabbed Xiuyuan's hand without any hesitation, for fear that he would lose Xiuyuan again by accident. Xiuyuan slowly left with her. Buyu took two steps forward, watching their left behind little by little, disappearing. Suddenly Xiuyuan turned around and looked at Buyu with tears in his eyes. He raised his hand and waved it lightly in front of his shoulders. Xiuyuan nodded understandingly, and then turned his head away.
There was a voice in his heart that shouted, "Cultivate the Restoration."
The cultivation of the air several miles away was also on the bed at this time, recalling everything that happened in the past two days, recalling the unswerving face, his mind was filled with the beautiful and deep eyes when he looked at him, and there seemed to be a ball of fire inside, as well as her every frown and smile, and even remembering everything that Unswerving said. Their fate began hundreds of years ago. He was the reincarnation of the Dragon Venerable, and she was the fox demon who had been waiting for hundreds of years.
Just as he was thinking about it but couldn't sleep, he seemed to hear this sound. The familiar sound penetrated everything to him. She called his name and opened her eyes suddenly, walked out of the bed and opened the window. Those eyes were gone, and the eyes that had been with him for sixteen years were no longer there.
Xiuyuan sighed and closed the window.
Two people came to the Li family's mansion early in the morning. Mo Chou, who was curious, happened to see him passing by the side hall, and he hurriedly floated over and walked away.
In the hall, the people who came were Maochun and Wang's friends who had not seen each other for many years, Miao Zhi and his twenty-year-old son Miao Xuehan.
Miaozhi is about the same age as Maochun. The two families are family friends. They grew up together. Although the Miao family was originally from Tiantai Town, many years ago, a fire destroyed the Miao family's foundation, and Miaozhi survived the whole family. Then Miaozhi, the lonely Miaozhi, borrowed money from the Li family to another place. Later, she married and had children in the local area and engaged in the house dyeing business. In recent years, she has been doing a great job. She paid back the money she took from the Li family very early, and the two have maintained letter exchanges for so many years.
"I haven't seen each other in the past two years. Brother Miao, you are a lot older?" Maochun saw Miao Zhi's expression was tired, his temples were gray, and his expression showed a gloomy look.
"It's hard to describe it, Brother Maochun," Miao Zhi wiped his forehead with his clothes, "It's not for me, my son," he said, patting Miao Xuehan beside him.
Xuehan is only twenty years old, with a pretty face and a slightly thin body. Compared to Miaozhi, although Xuehan's eyebrows are young, it can be seen that he has a serious illness and has a very poor complexion.
Maochun looked at Xuehan, "Is Xuehan suffering from something?" Wang also looked at him strangely.
Miao Zhi sighed, "I found some doctors and started saying that it was tuberculosis, but Xuehan didn't cough too much, and she didn't get better after taking a lot of medicine. She just lost weight day and night, but she didn't get better."
Miao Zhi said, his eyes began to wet, "I am a tough person. I killed my parents and my family was defeated. I finally started from scratch and got married and had a child. However, Xuehan's mother died of dying from birth. I killed my wife and I haven't re-reinforced them in recent years. I raised him alone. In the past two years, Xuehan has also started to get seriously ill and his health has deteriorated. I am really scared. I am just such a son. I don't want to defeat my son anymore, so I have to entrust Brother Maochun to take care of my son and help him find a good doctor to cure the disease as soon as possible."
Listening to Miao Zhi's crying statement, Mao Chun's heart softened, "Why did Brother Miao say this? Xuehan is very relieved to me, but it is important for us to ask a doctor. Don't just say that your life is so bad."
Wang also nodded one after another. Xuehan looked at his father and coughed a few more times, "Father, Xuehan really can't bear to part with his father."
When Miao Zhi saw his son coughing again, he hurriedly patted his son's back, "Child, it's a forced decision for his father. The doctor has invited him all, but he won't see you. Apart from this reason, I really don't know what else can be done for you, but you have to live." Miao Zhi began to choke, Xuehan lowered his head, with tears in his eyes. Maochun saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort the father and son, "No matter what, let Xuehan live first, Brother Miao stay here for a while." Miao Zhi waved his hand, "I'm leaving now, and the business at home cannot be separated from people. I feel relieved to entrust my son to you."
Maochun nodded and was not inconvenient to try to keep him. Miao Zhi stood up and returned to his seat, "By the way, I married a wife for Xuehan last year, and I was still in the inn. Later, I asked Brother Maochun to arrange for the two of them to stay together."
Maochun nodded, "Since you have married, of course you are here to stay together, I will order someone to pick you up now."
Xiuyuan was painting in the room, and Mochou pushed the door and came in, "I saw someone coming from home."
Xiuyuan turned around, "Well, I heard from my father yesterday that he was his friend for many years, and Uncle Miao and his son were coming."
"Oh, I also saw a young man, probably your uncle's son."
"Oh, you mean Brother Xuehan," Xiuyuan put down his pen and became serious. "Think about it, I haven't seen each other for a while. Yesterday I heard my father say that Brother Xuehan has suffered a serious illness in the past year, and the cause of the disease is unknown. He cannot be treated even if he visits famous doctors. Perhaps it is because Uncle Miao loves his son very much and thinks that his life might have defeated his son, so he entrusts his father to take care of Brother Xuehan for a while to see if there is any improvement."
"Haha," Mochou couldn't help but laugh, "Your Uncle Miao really believes in witches but not doctors. Why do you believe in numerology? You said you defeated your son."
"I think it's not a big deal for Uncle Miao. My wife died of dysfunction when she gave birth to Brother Xuehan. She hasn't re-released her strings for so many years. It's not easy to take Brother Xuehan alone. Of course, she has to save her life no matter what, so she will inevitably seek medical treatment in a hurry."
Mochou nodded, thinking that Xiuyuan’s words made sense, “That’s really a pitiful family.”
Xiu Yuan smiled with a pursed lips, "Let's go, I'll take you to visit Brother Xuehan and the others."
The two of them left the room as they said. When they passed by the side hall, they happened to see the butler taking a woman to the main hall.
"Butler Li," Xiu Yuan called out to the two people in front.
The two people in front turned around, Xiuyuan and Mochou saw a petite, thin and young woman also turned her head, with pretty phoenix eyes, pointed melon-shaped face, and affectionate eyebrows and eyes, which was very pleasant.
"Who is this?" Xiu Yuan walked up and asked.
The housekeeper Li Yi said, "This is Young Master Xuehan's wife. She was in the inn just now. The master ordered me to pick me up."
"Oh, it's sister-in-law," Xiu Yuan saw the woman Yu Niang nodded slightly, looked at Xiu Yuan, and her eyebrows were turned inadvertently. Although she was slightly still seen by Mo Chou beside her.
Then the group of four went to the main hall together. In the main hall, Xiuyuan and Mochou met Miao Xuehan and Miao Zhi. Xiuyuan met and saluted, "Hello Uncle Miao."
When Miao Zhi saw Xiuyuan, he hurried over and held him as he was praying, "I haven't seen a young nephew for a few years. I'm so strong, Brother Li is so lucky."
In contrast, when Maochun saw Xiuyuan, he was obviously a few years younger than Xuehan, but his face was rosy and healthy, and he immediately felt that this was a rare blessing.
Xuehan also came over, Xiuyuan held Xuehan's thin arms, "Brother Xuehan, long time no see, are you?"
Xuehan also held Xiuyuan in shame, "It's good, it's just that this damn body is not good, which makes my father worry and also causes trouble for Uncle Li and Brother Xiuyuan." "What's the case? Your father and I grew up together since childhood. How can we say that these years of love are such a small matter? Even if we are busy, we will help." Maochun took over the words.
"Oh by the way, this is my daughter-in-law, Yu Niang, come and pay homage to your Uncle Li's family." He said hello to come and salute.
Yu Niang walked over and bowed one by one with politeness, and her words were appropriate, perhaps because she was too petite and slender, and Mochou always felt a little floating in her steps.
After the group exchanged greetings, after having lunch that the Li family was hospitalized, Miao Zhi hurriedly rushed back, and Maochun was not willing to keep him anymore, so he ordered someone to take good care of Miao Zhi and sent him away. Then his wife Wang prepared a good guest room for Xuehan and Yu Niang to let them stay.
Xuehan was in poor health and went back to the room to rest during the meal. Yu Niang helped her husband back to the room. Before leaving, she passed by Xiuyuan. She glanced inadvertently and smiled on her lips. Mo Chou saw this slight action again. She couldn't help but frown. The woman was so frivolous and immediately had no affection for her.
After the meal, Xiuyuan also returned to the room, and Mochou followed him, frowned and said nothing.
"What's wrong?" Xiu Yuan saw that she didn't say anything, not like she was talking too much on weekdays, "Why don't you say a word?"
Mo Chou looked at him solemnly, "I think that Yu Niang has a problem."
Xiuyuan looked at her with a smile, "Why are there any problems?"
Mo Chou and Xiu Yuan walked into the room together, and she cautiously inserted into the door, "I just feel this way, this woman must have a problem." Mo Chou couldn't say why. Could it be that she felt frivolous because she looked at Xiu Yuan a few more times? She knew it was not entirely because of jealousy. If it were Long Buyu, the fox demon, she would be more angry when she saw Xiu Yuan's eyes, but when she saw Buyu looking at Xiu Yuan, she felt that it was indeed a harmless expression that was only because of love Xiu Yuan. However, this Yu Niang was obviously married to a woman and still had this restless look, which made her feel annoying first, and the look itself made people feel indescribable.
"You continue your intuition to catch monsters again, right? I think my sister-in-law is very good. Brother Xuehan immediately helped him back to the room and took good care of the people." Xiuyuan didn't care what Mo Chou said and smiled.
Mochou looked at Xiuyuan unhappily, "You men are, and when you see beautiful women, you will not have the awareness of discerning right or wrong."
Xiuyuan blinked his eyes, feeling that he might be inappropriate in his words, and scratched his head, "I don't have it, and I don't think my sister-in-law is as good as you. You think this is OK."
Mochou was amused by him, "Forget it, I won't bother with you. I'm going to go back to bed. You should also rest early and lock the door." Since Xiuyuan was taken away by Xiaozhi overnight last time, Mochou would tell him like this every time before going to bed, and Xiuyuan always nodded in acquiescently and smiled and did as soon as possible.
